Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 1 is free for a day

If you’ve wanted to give Tales of Monkey Island a shot, but didn’t have the coin, then consider deeming September 19th a beautiful day. In celebration of 'Talk Like a Pirate Day" this Saturday (this is a real thing), developer Telltale Games is giving away digital copies of Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 1 “Launch of the Screaming Narwhal” for free.

The giveaway begins at 12:01 AM GMT and rolls until exactly 12:00 AM on September 20th. To grab a copy of the first episode between these two times, click on this link and get to downloadin’. Arr, matey (or something like that)!
